Alien_Hunter : prediction of putative Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events
Alien_hunter is an application for the prediction of putative Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) events with the implementation of Interpolated Variable Order Motifs (IVOMs). An IVOM approach exploits compositional biases using variable order motif distributions and captures more reliably the local ...Tags: prediction, putative, Horizontal, Gene, Transfer, HGT, events, Alien, Hunter, Alien_hunter

HGT-Finder: A New Tool for Horizontal Gene Transfer Finding and Application to Aspergillus genomes
HGT-Finder: (i) can be used for HGT detection in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, (ii) can report a statistical P value for each gene to indicate how likely it is to be horizontally transferred, and (iii) is fully automated (requires minimal human intervention), as well as very ea...Tags: HGT-Finder, Tool, Horizontal, Gene, Transfer, Finding, Application, Aspergillus, genomes

alienness : Rapid Detection of Candidate Horizontal Gene Transfers across the Tree of Life
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transmission of genes between organisms by other means than parental to offspring inheritance. While it is prevalent in prokaryotes, HGT is less frequent in eukaryotes and particularly in Metazoa. Here, we propose Alienness, a taxonomy-aware web application a...Tags: alienness, Rapid, Detection, Candidate, Horizontal, Gene, Transfers, Tree, Life

DarkHorse: a method for genome-wide prediction of horizontal gene transfer
A new approach to rapid, genome-wide identification and ranking of horizontal transfer candidate proteins is presented. The method is quantitative, reproducible, and computationally undemanding. It can be combined with genomic signature and/or phylogenetic tree-building procedures to improve accu...Tags: DarkHorse, method, genome-wide, prediction, horizontal, gene, transfer, HGT

Bioinformatics tools to detect horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in genomes
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the “non-sexual movement of genetic material between two organisms” , is relatively common in prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes, but a number of factors combine to make it far rarer in multicellular eukaryotes. In order for a eukaryotic spec...Tags: Tools, detect, horizontal, gene, transfer, HGT, genomes
